Lis pendens is that SOMETHING is holding it up and about to be recorded... until you know what that is you don't know how to get rid of it (that is why they suck).. it could be a mechanic's lien or a tax lien or a fraudulent quit claim deed... all have different ways of being removed.The best way is to be able to prove it is fraudulent...

Past property delevopemnt manager has filed $75,000. mechanics lien, multiple other liens, etc. would like too hear from past employees. thanks

Being new construction… mechanics liens may come into play here.

Also ask if they owe any previous contractors money and make sure that there are no mechanics liens on the property when doing your due dilligence.

You get what you pay for and a good Agent is like any other trade. would you pay a flat rate or very cheap Dr or mechanic.

Fix the mechanical, plumbing, and safety issues because you are going to do that anyway.  

The vast majority needs something done - in fact - not sure I ever had a house that didn't need something done.Depends on what you consider a lot of work of course but most need paint / carpet (or hardwoods) / cleaning / some mechanical etc...

The mechanics of probate is now on my learn list.

(exaggerating)Let them know what type of lien you are wanting to file i.e. mechanics, tax, homeowners assoc, failure to perform (specific performance), ect..Let me know what you come up with.

My advice is that the mechanics of of doing the calculations are rather straight forward.
